Dear friends and colleagues!

As you know, Kyokushin World Union and the Bulgarian Karate Kyokushin Federation have planned to hold the XIV KWU International Camp in Kamchia (Bulgaria) from July 5 to July 12, 2020.

Due to the world pandemic of COVID19 only participants of 16 y.o. and above are allowed to participate in the XIV KWU International Summer Camp. Champions and prize-winners of international championships and tournaments, as well as champions and prize-winners of national championships are allowed.

When you think about your martial arts training, the things that come to mind might be your personal goals, the classes you’ll attend, and the skills you’re currently focused on. These are all an essential part of any martial arts student’s training, but there is a frequently overlooked element that is equally important.

Recovery is a crucial part of your martial arts practice. Quality recovery helps you to prevent injuries and gives your body a chance to rebuild after a class or training session.

The best way to get better at martial arts is by consistent practice of your skills and taking martial arts classes regularly. At the same time, however, there are elements of your martial arts practice that you can train from home. One of these elements is your fitness.

When most people think of karate, they think of the physical aspects. Kicks hold, and punches combine to create a movie-style fight scene. Karate is much more than that, however. Karate trains the mind just as much, or more, as it does the body. When you step on the mat for your first karate class, get ready to transform your body, your mind, and your soul.
